This build is a major milestone in the development of Sandboxie, it marks the first open source release that has a driver properly signed for windows 10 and 8.
For windows 7 unfortunately the signing process did not returned a working driver, a solution is being worked on.
Therefor please NOTE that due to this the "for windows 7" installers include the old provisionally signed driver for the time being.
If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.
The new SandMan UI finally reached full feature parity with the old legacy UI, it has a new interactive notification window and brings many new features improving on many aspects of Sandboxie-Plus, the UI has a myriad of usability improvements. The snapshot management has been greatly improved as have been the debug options for tracing and resolving compatibility issues. The process start warning mechanism has been extended to a fully fledged system wide process start blocker, that now accepts executable names as well as folders. And last but not least this build also brings an optional Updater mechaism to keep Sandboxie (Plus and Legacy) up to date.
You can support my work through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.
